Hi guys,
The 0.7 series has finally gone stable! This build fixes a couple of bugs we've found in the current stable release and will eventually become the next build we release. The reason the "stable" builds in the forum are slightly ahead of the builds available for download from the front page is that we are testing fixes to a few very specific bugs in the 0.7 series while we are gearing up to give you guys some 0.8 builds. Thanks for all your help testing Dropbox!
Regarding the 0.8 branch: We might be a few days later than late January, but we've certainly been working constantly on trying to get the new branch ready for forum builds. I hope you're as excited as we are!
Since 0.7.104:
- Fixed an issue where some people with connection issues were also experiencing unresponsiveness from the tray icon (notification area icon) in Windows.
- No changes to platforms other than Windows
Since the previous stable build (0.6.570):
- Many performance improvements
- Many memory improvements
- Many stability fixes
- Toolbar buttons added to Finder on OS X
- LAN sync
